Snehlata Verma,Ph.D.Assistant Professor,Apeejay Stya University,Gurgaon,India.

Yeshee Dorzi, M.Ed Student,Lovely Professional University,Punjab,India.

The study was carried out to analyze and compare the Secondary Teacher EducationCurriculum of Royal University of Bhutan and University of Pune, India. The objectives of the

study were to analyze the teacher education curriculum of India and Bhutan in terms of its

relevance to the emerging educational context with reference to Indian/Bhutanese heritage,

international understanding, teachers role, learners competencies, latest developments,

values, professionalism and national and social concern. Curriculum analysis has been carried

out based on the eight parameters of the emerging educational context. A self developed

performa was used to analyze different modules offered in secondary teacher education

curriculum by Royal University of Bhutan and different papers including Science practical

offered in secondary teacher education curriculum by University of Pune, India. The researcher

concludes that the curricula of the two universities are not relevant to the emerging educationalcontext since the presence of parameters indicating emerging educational context are not

reflected up to satisfactory level in almost all the papers of both the Universities except for

teachers role, learners competencies and technology mediated learning in caseof University

of Pune, India. The researcher felt the immediate need to address the incorporation of missing

parameters in all the papers up to satisfactory level in both the Universities as a means for

preparing the future teachers to overcome and face any kind of challenges in emerging

educational context.

Key words: University of Bhutan, University of Pune, Secondary teacher education,

curriculum analysis, heritage, teachers role, learning competencies, international

understanding, values, professionalism, national and social concern.

INTRODUCTION OF THE PROBLEM: The current system of teacher education is

supported by a network of national, provincial and district level resource institutions working

together to enhance the quality and effectiveness of teacher preparation programs at the pre-

service level and also through in-service programs for serving teachers throughout the country.

The working of the National Council of Educational Research and Training (NCERT) was

reviewed. The council (NCERT) and its regional Colleges of education were expected to play a

greater role in the education of teachers. The non-statutory National Council for Teacher

Education (NCTE) was set up in 1974 by a resolution of the Government of India and was

located in the NCERT. It brought out its curriculum framework in 1978. The statutory NCTE

established by an act of parliament in 1993 further came out with a Curriculum Framework

(1998) to provide guidelines in respect of the content and methodology of teacher education. As

a result the courses of teacher education were revised by many universities and state

governments. During this period, the National Commission on Teachers (1983) studied in depth

the problems of teacher education and the status of teachers in the society. Its main

recommendations were enhancing training period, to change selection procedure of teachers,

making the pedagogy of teacher education meaningful leading to enrichment of the theory

courses and practical work. It also suggested changes in the structure of M.Ed.

Until the 1950s, education in Bhutan was mainly monastic. Literacy was confined to the

monasteries, and many eminent Bhutanese scholars traveled to Tibet to study Buddhist

scriptures. In the 1950s, under the second king, His Majesty Jigme Wangchuck, Bhutan opened

its first secular schools, with both the curriculum and the medium of instruction (Hindi)

borrowed from India. But it was in the 1960s, under the third king, His Majesty Jigme Dorji

Wangchuck, that Bhutan began to build its education system in earnest. Realizing that the small,

isolated country needed to be able to communicate with the rest of the world, the third king

made English the language of instruction. This laid the foundations for the network of primary,

secondary and post-secondary institutions spread across Bhutan today.The actual seed of education was sown with the inception of two Pre-service teacher

education Colleges of Education (COE) in Samtse and Paro, the former established in 1968 and

the latter in 1975.There are two pre-service programmes offered, a Bachelor of Education

(B.Ed) and a Post Graduate Certificate in Education (PGCE). The four-year B.Ed. programme

caters for primary, secondary and Dzongkha teaching (language) and is provided in both the


3/13



COEs, whereas the one year PGCE programme caters for secondary teaching and is provided in

the institute at Samtse only.

Entry into the PGCE programme requires a degree, while the B.Ed programme requires

a class XII or equivalent certificate. Earlier, the B.Ed degree included a one year field

attachment programme for the candidates as apprentice teachers in selected schools at the

beginning of the programme. From 2009 onwards the apprenticeship programme at the

beginning was discontinued and the B.Ed students now undergo the apprenticeship during the

3rd year of the programme. The B.Ed programme, which used to be only in English, has now

been expanded to include Dzongkha (National Language).

The enrolment in the two teacher colleges has increased to about 1506 students which

constitutes a 34 percent increase since 2004. The proportion of girls choosing to become

teachers continues to hover around 40 percent. This maybe a reflection of the lower proportion

of girls enrolled in higher secondary schools. The proportion of girls enrolled in the teacher

colleges has remained consistent over the last eight years at about 38-40 percent. Considering

the overall enrolment in the Royal University of Bhutan (RUB) colleges, the proportion of girls

studying in the teacher colleges is higher than the average.

The survey warrants the need of a research on the functioning of the regulatory body,

NCTE. It also highlights the necessity of follow up studies of student teachers in order to assess

the real effectiveness of teacher education program in the country. Studies on teacher educators,

value education, computer literacy, impact of ICT, privatization and its impact are some of the

felt areas in teacher education. The trend report reiterates the poverty of theory and philosophy

in teacher education which is expected to be developed through well designed research studies.

The studies reviewed in this chapter undoubtedly portray the key and crucial aspects of teacher

education program prevalent in the country. But equally true is the fact that no study so far

attempted to encompass the different regions of the country.

Out of 144 studies reported in the Fourth Survey of education, there are only 38 reports,

on curriculum development. Further, there are only 23 research works relating to B.Ed

curriculum. The sample for these studies-included pupil teachers, teachers and head masters of

high schools, teacher educators, principals of teacher training colleges and administrators

connected in the program.

The above reviews indicate that the Teacher Education Programmes are not always up to

the mark and this has hampered in producing quality teachers from the universities. Most of the

reviews highlighted are that there are always a communication gap in between the universities

and the practicing schools. Most of the curricula of universities are found traditional, non

innovative and with superficial instructional programs as a result not very effective in delivery.

The curricula are most of the time found mechanical and bookish in nature. The duration of

Secondary Teacher Education program as a whole and practice teachings are found too short.

There is also lack of proper supervision and follow up from the concerned authorities for

improving the quality of Teacher Education Programme to meet the emerging educational

context.

After analyzing the major issues emerging from the review, the researcher suggests

further research regarding the development of a curriculum of teacher education for emerging

educational context.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE PROBLEM

Around the world, schools and the societies of which they are part, are confronting the

most profound changes, the like of which have not been seen since the last global movement of

economic and educational restructuring more than a century ago. The fundamental forms of

public education that were designed for an age of heavy manufacturing and mechanical industry

are under challenge and fading fast as we move into a world of high technology, flexible work

forces, more diverse school populations, down sized administrations, and declining resources.

What is to follow is uncertain and unclear. The different directions of change can seem

conflicting and are often contested. Decentralized systems of school self management are

accompanied by centralized systems of curriculum and assessment control. Moves to develop

more authentic assessments are paralleled by the tightened imposition of standard tests.

Curriculum integration is being advocated in some places, more specialization and subject

departmentalization in others. These complex and contradictory cross-currents pose real

challenges to theoretical and practical interpretation in many fields of education, and constitute

an important and intriguing agenda for educational change and for this series, which is intended

to meet a deep-seated among researchers and practitioners. International, social and

technological changes require a profound and rapid response from the educational community.

By establishing and interpreting the nature and scope of educational change, changing pre-


5/13



service teacher education for emerging diverse needs will make a significant contribution to

meeting this challenge.A teacher functions within the broader framework of the school

education system its goals, curricula, materials, methods and expectations from the teacher. A

teacher education curriculum framework needs to be in consonance with the curriculum

framework for school education, and a teacher needs to be prepared in relation to the needs and

demands arising in the school context. As such, it needs to engage with the questions of the

learner, the learning process and the content and pedagogy of educating teachers. The

expectations of the school system from a teacher change from time to time, responding to the

broader social, economic and political changes taking place in the society.

The practical component in teacher education has been treated by researcher realizing its

integral nature (Srivastava 1970, Saikia-1971, Banerjee-1956, Sharma-1973, Deo- 1958). But a

satisfactory picture did not emerge from those studies. The supervision procedure has drawn the

attention of some researchers (Dubey-1981, Raj- 1982, Pandey-1980, Mohanty- 1984). The role

of practicing schools and the link between schools and the colleges of education have been

analyzed and suggested by others (Rai-1982, Bhatnagay 1980, Sharma 1973, Hamambujam-

1983). Bhatnagar (1980) analyzed 39 studies in the area of teacher education during the period

1952 to 1978 which revealed that B.Ed. program did not concentrate on practical work and

student teaching was one of the weakest links in teacher education at secondary level.In 1982,

five studies have been reported. Gupta evaluated the innovative practices of teaching in thecolleges of education and established their comparative merit. Raj surveyed the problems of

teacher training colleges with regard to practicing schools in U.P. and Gujarat and found that

the objectives of practice teaching was not based on well defined principles. Sharma examined

the progress and problems of teacher education in India and observed no marked improvement.

Regarding teacher education curricula a wide variation exists although two major

components i.e. theory papers and practical part constitute the curriculum. The curricula are

characterized as traditional, rigid and having more emphasis on theory than on practical work.

Curriculum was found to be traditional and lacked depth (Patel 1971, Kohli 1974, Pathak 1979).

The area of curriculum context is also found to be one of the neglected areas in teacher

education research. It was reported that the objectives of the program were not clear and it failed

to develop teaching aptitude among the trainees (Srivastava 1982). Across the universities, the

curricula are found lacking uniformity and clear cut definitions (Walia 1992) which may be

detrimental for evolving a national policy of teacher education.This view of education points to

the need to take a fresh look at teacher preparation. Education is not a mechanical activity of

information transmission and teachers are not information dispensers. Teachers need to be

looked at as crucial mediating agents through whom curriculum is transacted. Textbooks by

themselves do not help in developing knowledge and understanding. Learning is not confined to

the four walls of the classroom. We need to connect knowledge to life outside the school and

enrich the curriculum by making it less textbook-oriented.In the backdrop of the above, the

investigator proposes to make an attempt to analyze the Curriculum of Secondary Teacher

Education Programme of India and Bhutan.

DELIMITATION

1. The study has been confined to the curriculum of four year integrated Secondary Teacher

Education Programmes of Pune University, India and Royal University of Bhutan. The analysis

is done for all the modules of Royal University of Bhutan whereas for Pune University only the

papers for which syllabus were available has been subjected to analysis.

2. The Royal University of Bhutan and Pune University offers B.Sc. B.Ed and the common

subjects offered are only Sciences. Therefore, comparative studies have been confined only to

Science subjects of the two Universities.

DESIGN OF THE STUDYIn this research, the Curriculum of Secondary Teacher Education Programme of Bhutan and

India has been analyzed. Since the nature of the problem involves exploring and to understand

the totality of phenomenon in context-specific settings, documentary analysis has been

employed. This methodology was found to be more appropriate as it provided a more in-depth

understanding of the problem being studied. Analysis of the curriculum of Secondary Teacher

Education Program of Pune University, India and Royal University of Bhutan has been done to

understand the similarities and differences in the curriculum. A performa was designed to

analyze and compare secondary teacher education curriculum for emerging educational context

with reference to identified parameters and indicators. For curriculum analysis, the investigator

has identified eight curriculum parameters and various indicators reflecting the emerging

educational context. The curriculum contents of Secondary Teacher Education of the two

Universities were analyzed and compared as per those parameters and indicators. Curriculum
